Andy Hall, Chief Scientific Officer & Co-Founder of Rarecan
Andy Hall, Rarecan, rightly points out, “I firmly believe the more you know about a cancer, the more you can do to diagnose it accurately, prevent it if you can, and treat it if you must.” This crucial truth drives our passion for advancing neuroendocrine cancer research.
Listen to Kate Quirk, Cancer Support Co-ordinator at Neuroendocrine Cancer UK & a patient, as she emphasises, “And if we don’t speak up, if we don’t advocate, and if we don’t persist, we run the risk of not being included in that one piece of research. Which might just deliver the breakthrough that the neuroendocrine cancer community desperately needs.”
